No More Free Chick Voucher on Farm Pass, January 2023

Cheeky indeed 🤔

Cant say I bought any chick vouchers in gift catalogue

Beyond the 1st 2 peacocks I lost interest, didn't really want toucans or cockatoos 😅

Have 20 vouchers stored in case a bird I do want comes out!

No chicken vouchers in the free version are really unfortunate. This time I decided to buy the pass. Not in-game but via SC store. You can get the pass there at a reduced rate.

I also like the additional slots and the second spin for WOF and in the valley. Main thing buying the pass this time was the available chicken voucher. Currently I possess 8, only in need for 1 for the next animal. I'm looking forward to it.

There are days where it feels like SC is trying hard to make me quit playing HD.

I understand their need to make money. It is obviously also in my personal interest that they do so, because it allows them to keep developing the game. However I don't like to feel forced to spend my hard earned money, I want it to be a choice of my own. It makes me rebellious instead of generous, when they do stuff like this.

I would have been more positive toward this, if they had somehow "warned" about it before the gift game. It is easy to feel a little foolish for having spend so much time and potential money on making gifts to get hollies only to have bought something potentially useless.

I fully understand your sentiments because I'm also very emotional. But on the other side I don't allow some emotions to "control" my behaviour. This applies first and foremost for things I can't change. I admit, I have no success every time when I try to get over it, but I'm working on it. Of course you are right, it's not very "nice" to omit the chicken voucher in the free version after the event.

However, it is how it is. Sorry for the word play, but I think it's not worth to let this bother you. Try to come to terms with it, that's really better than to quarrel with it.

People relax, it’s just about pixels. It’s us that decide if we want to spent money on this game yes or no. If SC pulls the plug one day on Hayday (remind it already exists 10 years, which is long for a game) we will only have memories and we won’t get any money back.

Everybody is entitled to their own opinions. 😉

I'll be surprised if there aren’t some other ways to get chick vouchers going forward. It would be a shame if supercell changes their free to play model going forward, and I don’t see them doing this as it’s what they are known for.

I suppose it could be argued that peacocks and toucans don’t make the game 'unplayable', but particular machines or even areas (the town for example) also don’t make the game 'unplayable'. I would definitely put animals and feeding in a different category from optional decos, since the whole point of hay day is the build up our farms with crops, machines, and animals that consume our goods.

So I'm banking on still being able to get vouchers, perhaps through some farm pass free levels and maybe also through some new events. Event rewards could certainly use improvement (!) and chick vouchers would be greatly incentivizing rewards.

I think it is mean spirited.

No need to leave. There is no right or wrong opinion here. 

It is always nice when new people join the forums rather passionate but never heated debate. We are all HD fans and rather loud about the things we like or dislike in the game. 

I have the peacocks and two of the cockatoos but don’t really want the toucans.

I could see SC changing it up and adding chick voucher's to the valley rewards.
That or more events maybe even sometimes on the WoF.

People go into panic mode when something changes.
Jan 1 is a holiday, just needed to wait 24 hours for a response from SC.

LOL. It has been many months since spam has landed on JHD. I almost forgot how to report spammers. Almost.

EDIT: I made a note to check back into this thread later in the afternoon. Thank you to JHD staff for deleting the spam from the newest member.
